We all love to laugh and
there are very few times and places when laughter is inappropriate.
Our laughter uplifts us and those around us - so what could be inappropriate
about that? ☺

Admittedly, there are some
situations where laughter would be frowned upon, (yes, I’ve been there!) and one
does need to keep a straight face (not
always that easy!) – but you can still chuckle inside! ☺

I laugh a lot! I giggle, I
chortle, I chuckle, I cackle, I splutter, I screech and I snort with laughter
whenever the mood takes me - which is often!

I’ve always thought I was
lucky to find many situations highly amusing – and of course it helps to have a
sense of the absurd. ☺

Throughout my school years I
would constantly be in trouble with my teachers for the punishable offence of laughter!

I loved to share laughter
and giggles with my friends and still do.

In fact, I love to share
laughter and giggles with everyone I meet, in whatever situation I’m in.
It’s a JOYful way to live and it adds a sense of funand good cheer to what could otherwise be mundane and boring,
or downright bleak. ☺

One of my personal mantras
has always been “Vot’s not to laugh?”!
There is always a funny side! ☺

“What’s the one prescription I am always happy to
dispense? Take two belly laughs and call me in the morning. Safer than any big
pharma pill-of-the-moment and free of harmful side effects, laughter is one of
the easiest things you can do to promote healing and well being. In fact, in my
20 years of medical experience, I’ve found that patients who have a sense of
humor and laugh a lot, tend to heal better and faster than those who don’t.
Therefore I say, if health and wellness is your goal, skip irony, bypass
sarcasm and make the conscious choice to add more joyous laughter into to your
day.” ~ Dr Frank Lipman (click to read full article here)

The
health benefits of laughter are widely documented, and it’s also good for your
brain! ☺ You can read more
about ‘A Brain on Laughter’by
Dr Ellen Weber, here.

Laughing
with Life doesn’t mean that you’re not taking it seriously.
It means you’re enJOYing yourself and having fun along the way.And you’re sending Good Energy out into the world.
So why be glum?!
Lighten up and laugh often and you’ll
Rock your Health and Happiness and Get Your Glow On! ☺With Love,

When I worked in advertising
there was nothing that could freeze
my creative juices as instantly as having to sit in a meeting to ‘brainstorm’ – a
word that particularly does not resonate with me.
While everyone else was scribbling and trying to outdo each other with ideas,
I’d stare at my blank notepad feeling under pressure to write something….anything…

I had nothing at all.
So I’d write my shopping list. Eggs. Loo paper… anything to look like I was ‘thinking’!☺

My brain doesn’t function
well when it’s stormed.

I prefer the idea of a brainflow – inspiration that simply presents itself ☺
My best ideas and ‘aha moments’ have always arrivedwhen I’m not in pursuit of them.

Mostly, it’s when I’m doing
something completely mindless, like staring at nothing at all ☺
Mindless staring – out of the window, or at the kitchen wall while I’m waiting
for the kettle to boil, or washing dishes - often rewards me with great insights and
ideas!

The kitchen wall. Does this look like a place of inspiration? :)

Often the staring at the kitchen wall is accompanied by mindless snacking –
peanut butter with a spoon, or crackers and cheese - and while this would not be recommended by
nutritionists, I’m frequently blessed with ‘answers’, insights and ideas that appear ☺

Inspiration, clarity and
understanding arrive easily when we’re relaxed
and open to allowing it.

That’s why so many of us
find inspiration arrives when we’re in the shower, or while we’re out walking or running, or as we’re getting ready
for bed.

Ideas don’t always arrive when it’s convenient to write them down. But it’s important that we do, or at least try
to consciously remember them, until we can get them down on paper if we need to. Because as easily as they arrive, so they can
float off into the either…. and they may or may not return. ☺

You don’t need to eat peanut butter and stare at a wall to get your best ideas,
but you’ve got to be relaxed and open. ☺
So next time you’re storming your brain for inspiration – relax, stop thinking,
do something else, or just be still, allow it to flow and Get Your Glow
On! ☺
